The one big issue that annoyed me the most on EB13 was the WIFI. If I turned it off, it would not turn on again and I would have to reboot the phone in order for it to work. That has been fixed in EC05.

Another issue with WIFI was it's signal capture strength. On DI18, I was able to get a WIFI connection at this one spot in the gym I work out at, but after the upgrade to EB13, I would connect from that same spot, but it would never transmit/receive any data. After the EC05 update, I am able to connect to WIFI from that spot again AND send/receive data.

I noticed the biggest battery drain was with WIFI being left on with EB13. I would have to turn off WIFI and run Juice Defender Free and my battery would last all day with moderate use. If I left WIFI on, the battery would drain really fast. I will test tomorrow and see if the battery life has improved if WIFI is left on.
[Epic 4G General] Sigkill-9:
I have the EC05 modem flashed onto my modded EB13 rom. It's way better than the EB13 modem. It's more stable and doesnt drop 3G. If this is a hint to how much better EC05 is going to be, I cant wait!
[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
Slower 3g data speeds now.

I hate "Top Flight Security Mods"
[Epic 4G General] Grogck:
I never really had too many issues with EB13. The only one I can think of off the top of my head was that I couldn't get it to pair with my little Belkin Bluetooth Receiver that feeds into my home stereo (so I could listen to music/podcasts without having to have the food hooked up by cable.) Prior to the EB13 I had no issues with that. But other than that it was relatively ok to me and I GREATLY appreciated the freedom of finally being able to shift a lot of my lesser/non-widget apps over to the SD card. So this is no different in that regard.

But so far, mostly so good. Seems nice and responsive. 3G (which is all I have unfortunately) seems just a bit slower though.

I'm really liking EC05, no problems here on my Epic 4G with Synergy 5.0 installed.

Battery killer. This update has reduced my Epic 4G to a paperweight with 8 hrs battery life. That's 8 hrs if I don't use it at all.

Point me to a viable root when it comes available please.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
I've seen better battery life with EC05 but it's still pretty bad. My battery would die in about 3 hours with moderate use on EB13 with the screen turned all the way down.

Now it last around 8-10 hours with moderate use, which is what I was seeing on Di18 :cool:
[Epic 4G General] InhumanElmo:
EC05 is the update I have been waiting for. OTA from EB13 (OTA ZIP). Battery life is improved, my GPS actually works! No force closes anymore (got a few with the browser on EB13). I was also able to update my PRL and now I get MUCH better service where I was having issues. No issues with this one yet, but so far its like DI18 just froyo.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
yesterday after i cleared my battery history i had 62% battery after 16 hours. that's completely stock and rooted. if i get that again today after another full charge i'm gonna be a happy camper
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
cleared my battery stats and calibrated but still not seeing goood battery life. :(
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Battery life is insane for me now. Used heavily last night and took 4 hours before first blue in the gauge went away.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
The battery gauge isn't really accurate. If you use spare parts or type: *#4636*1111# in the numb pad and go to battery info, it will give you a more accurate reading.
[Epic 4G General] kalico17:
I flashed back to stock di18 over the weekend and let the ota update roll thru..

Phones runnig better then it has stock or running any other rom since october...

EC05>>>
[Epic 4G General] jrdatrackstar:
Wow....define "used heavily" and settings (screen brightness, etc...) PLEASE lol. What was your screen-on time?

Also, are you using JuiceDefender? I hate using stuff like that because I have to do more work to get it to work the way it should from the start.
[Epic 4G General] PokeAsheep:
Camera actually works; I can get a gps lock, without having to reboot 50mil times; My ping rate on 3g and 4g is finally under 300 (eb13 was getting ping rates of like 600-700!) Which is still high, but much better; I have stopped betting a bsod multiple times per day (which seemed to start with eb13); and I don have to reboot every time I turn 4g off and wifi on for either to work again!

Only problem: I have to reboot after switching from bluetooth to loud-speaker while playing flash, othewise it comes out of the earphone only instead of speaker. Also sprint ID. I don't like it much, but the only thing that bugs me is the inability to just uninstall. But I am not suprised or particularly upset, some might find it useful (at least it's not like sprint tv crapp or nascar crapp....which have been removed) I do find the "tutorial widgets" annoying though.... uhg. Really? I think one would figure out how to swipe left and right before figuring out how to add a widget....

Overall I would say VAST improvement!
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
I don't use any battery apps. Spent most of the time between xda, espn gamecast, texting, and watching sports highlights. Screen uses auto-brightness. Hope that helps. Screen on time of the for hours was around 66%.
[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
I am with some of the others and have gone stock. I tried all the roms that are available. I had issues from fc to data corruption and no I never did anything to cause it.

With stock I just removed some bloat and to be honest it feels faster than the roms too. The only issue I ever have is turning on Wifi won't work.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Biggest issue: the agonizing delay when pulling out the keyboard to icons disappearing and reappearing on the home screens. I believe someone said this behavior may be caused or worsened by apps being put on the SD card. Unfortunately I never tried that before I started installing them there.

More minor/nitpicky stuff:

-I knew I was in for trouble when I saw that ridiculous bubblegum-pink new icon for the music player. The old 2.1 player was good and easy enough that I never felt the need to try any market apps for music. Now, I'm not so sure. Many of the changes are idiotic - not ignoring the word "The" for alphabetizing bands anymore, making the artist tab like an afterthought, making navigating through the library tougher, and not being able to switch track order on the fly. Seriously, what were they thinking? About the only positive are simplified controls and larger artwork.

-The new icons on the notification bar may look more "professional" or something but they're tougher on the eye. I have to stare at the bluetooth icon for more time just to figure out if it's active or not without the Eclair blue background. And the two-colored arrows for the 3G connection down and up made way more sense.

-What is with this bug of battery use under settings only having display at 99% and that's all that's listed?! I got 1% for WiFi ONE time. Can this be fixed? ETA: after a battery pull and recharge with phone off, I'm at last getting our friend TWS here, so progress maybe?

-The either/or for silent or vibrate in silent mode is just dumb.

-Battery life does seem somewhat worse, but I have to give it time because I'm using it more since the flash, obviously.

+But the positives FAR outweigh the negatives--Froyo DOES perform better (Watchdog reports HALF the apps loading at startup that Eclair did for example), the new features and apps are most welcome (but I wont fux with SprintID) and yes, the EC05 modem is so much more reliable for GPS and 4G. Tonight as I drove over a wide area of town I had one brief 4G drop, and that was it! On the Eclair modem the thing dropped all the time even when all I was doing was going from one Sprint 4G tower to another with plenty of overlap.

So worth a flash, definitely and at last. Glad I waited for this version, and XDA made it possible without data loss. I'd just like to get it improved in terms of these issues if possible, then I might not even feel the need to go away from rooted stock.

You mean until Samsung botches another update and kills your dictionary file and then makes the word-completion do whatever the hell it wants? It's turned off, it auto-completes words... It's turned on, it auto-completes words.... There's no way to stop it nor can you access the dictionary properly with the Android keyboard anymore. My fiancee and I have been messing with her phone for days including getting a hard reset from Sprint. This is a Samsung problem, and you'd better believe my Evo has never had an issue. The only Samsung phone worth getting would be the Nexus S 4G because they don't control it.
[Epic 4G General] Mutiny32:
They changed the vocoder to 4GV, which is cool if they decide to ever just switch EVRC-WB on one day out of the blue for HD voice.

They still can't fix the damn compass, which I cannot understand for the life of me why. It's a simple fix that they simply won't do.

TWS is still there, but I think it's almost a non-issue now.

Push notifications appear to work better.

Battery life seems to have greatly improved.

It's a decent build, but it still isn't 2.3/2.4, which is what the very similar Nexus S runs on.
[Epic 4G General] jtw78:
My battery life has taken a crap after a few days of using EC05. It also seems like my phone is dropping signal quite a bit so it makes the noise to let me know it loses network and then gets it back. Really annoying when I'm trying to sleep. I don't know if that's the same as the TWS bug. I'm about to return the phone if I can't find a reasonable solution.

My wife's Epic is now super laggy, so I need to fix her issues too. I hope CM7 gets up and running soon.
[Epic 4G General] uscpsycho:
I am still having keyboard lag issues which is most annoying.

But even more annoying is Swype issues which I never had before. In 2.1 I loved Swype. It guessed correctly at a super high rate. Now I'm constantly correcting Swype, to the point where it's borderline unusable. In 2.1 Swype was a joy to use.

I noticed that Swype has a speed/accuracy setting. I have no idea what the heck this does but no setting seems to help.

Also, I keep telling Swype to forget words but it doesn't forget them. I keep getting some of the same garbled suggestions no matter how many times I tell it to forget them.

Otherwise 2.2 is a dream come true. Best phone I've ever used. Unfortunately I have text input issues whether I use the keyboard or Swype. Quite frustrating.

Anyone else having issues with videos not playing? I almost think I have 2 issues, videos/music from SD card not playing is the first. Second video in general won't play (such as from websites, youtube app, etc). A reboot fixes this every time, but it sporadically happens. I had it on 18, but was hoping 05 would take care of it.

Also, I can't seem to find this, I swear my phone updated to MCxx recently, but now I'm showing EC05 again. WTH is that about? Any ideas? Or am i bat $hit crazy?

I haven't run into any issues as of yet. I've only been running it now for about two days but the phone seems to be all around faster and smoother. I was thinking of getting rid of my Epic but now I'm really considering keeping it for awhile longer, I'm actually proud of my phone again.
[Captivate General] eccezarathustra:
Ok, sorry to ask this i have tried to find the information in the threads with no luck.

In passing on a thread in the dev forums I saw someone mention a file in the android

system that records the time the CPU spends in each state (ie at 100mhz, 200mhz etc)

I found the file that time and examined it. I would like to find it again, despite searching for it (in my phone, the forums and google) i have not been able to find it again.

I am having battery drain issues and would like to see if my phone is properly scaling down when idle. I have os monitor to see if something is using it, but that gives me live instantaneous information about usage percentages. This should give me broad information about how hard my CPU is running over a period of time. Besides just because something is taking up 10% it doesnt mean the CPU is scaling up to 1000mhz to handle that request.

So if anyone knows where that file is located i would be grateful if they could share.
[Captivate General] Soccer_Dad:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state

I use File Express, and have the file bookmarked so that it is easy to find. I suspect you could also create a home button to it with Astro File Manager.

Thank you, very much. I found it once forgot to bookmark and spent hours going through every folder I could find.

I figured it would be nice to have a simple app to display this info, so I wrote a small app to graphically show you the time in each state + kernel build info (for those who flash often enough to forget what kernel they're running ;) )

7dialer is good, if you have your contacts sync'd to Windows Live (or Hotmail). Unfortunately, for people like me who have their contacts on GMail, 7dialer is not a solution.

[KIN Two Software Development] zero2duo:
About 2 weeks ago, I took johnkussack's advice (I think it was him) and went to LinkedIn to try t be friends with anyone who came up on the search for "kin phone". In the invite email, I just said that I noticed they worked on the Kin phones and would like to ask them a few questions on how one could write to the phone. I have had 3 responses in the last 2 days.

Guy1: didn't know because he worked on the UI for the Kin Studio

Guy2: kindly told me he couldn't release an unauthorized build and that he would be breaking the law by doing so.

Guy3: This guy worked on the phone for over a year. He first told me I was breaking the DCMA by hacking/reverse engineering Kin, regardless of intent. Then he said this important thing:

"You are absolutely right in assuming that the device is locked; in fact, it has a hardware lock that is common to many such devices. When the devices roll of the manufacturing line the programming fuses are blown (literally) preventing any further programming of the device. This is all handled by hardware so unless you find a flaw with that you are out of luck."

So if this is true (sounds like it is), the "dream" is over. Hopefully there is some way that someone out there can find.

If I get more responses, I will post them here. Don't ask me to go back to these three who already replied and asked them more questions, I think I made some of them mad.
[KIN Two Software Development] Heratiki:
Hmmmm... I don't know whether or not the KIN models will accept OTA updates so that's a good question to ask. If OTA updates are possible then it's inherently possible to change the software. I wonder...
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
Yes, it was me the one who said about "linkedin".

But i also said "in one word NDA". You should known even before ask that the signed NDA are also legal contracts, so i prevented before asking them.

On the DCMA, yes.. on the USA. Outside the big country, the legal question is different and may not operate with that law. (if ever). If they provide a normal (legal?) way to unbrick my factory mode here, or to use the phone options, then i wait for the cost for it.

And everyone knew that hardware was not the way, just at the moment where first flash attempt failed. "Dream" is doable by software, if anything is to be done.

What i don't get is why to ask for rom rom roooooms, where we need drivers drivers driveeeeers... or sdk's. We won't get it anyway from MS, but no flashing means a rom is futile, non useful,crap pack of bytes.
[KIN Two Software Development] zero2duo:
I figured I just take a shot in the dark; hope for the best and expect the worst. Since the phone and suuport from MS was discontinued, maybe the NDAs would be voided.

Good to know you still think there's a way.

I just asked if "there is a way to get around the write lock". Had I known ahead of time to ask about drivers or SDKs, I would have put that in the msg.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
I strongly believe that we could operate with the device,softwarewise. there is proof that the kin NAND memory (for now on, called "Storage" as label) is writeable. Not sure on the Rom part.

Of course, i mean.. just use it as a normal writable storage memory.

I posted how it could be done and would do it myself but, again, i bricked my phone, and available ones (through bidding sites) are so expensive to buy another one just for this (+ $150). Don't see a way to get it internationally again.

And even doing it, i'm not sure about what could be done just writing on the storage mem....
[KIN Two Software Development] kintwouser:
If the fuse byte is burn't should not it have prevented you from bricking?
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
Nvitem bricked, not flashing bricked. You can succesfully write to the NVItems memory. But i guess it's just configuration memory and not the one "fused".
[KIN Two Software Development] kintwom:
I just want to mention that jailbreaking a phone is NOT illegal in the United States! Geohot hacked the iphone... Apple went after him... Apple lost.

Also blowing the programming fuses seems a little fishy to me actually. No other phone does that. The majority of other phones have been flashed. I just think it would be pretty odd for a company to do that so that they no longer could update it. I am not sure I believe him. If this really was true... then why wouldn't Apple or Sony be doing it? This also doesn't make sense since Microsoft actually originally intended on putting WP7 on this as well as allowing apps for it. Check this article out:
